Parish Ministry in a Hispanic Community

"This book describes the many ways of ministry at St. Pius V. The parish builds community by providing service and by encouraging the creation of small, base communities among its people. It celebrates the sacraments of the Church and the sacramentals of everyday life as observed in Mexican culture. It helps Hispanics preserve their culture while integrating into a new society. Building on their profound trust in God, the parish challenges them to deepen their faith and put it into action. It supports family life and empowers parishioners to build up their neighbourhood. St. Pius V serves as a useful model for ministry to Hispanic people in any North American city."--BOOK JACKET.
